Target removing gender labels...

Target Corp. is removing gender labels from most of its
children’s departments after customers complained about signs
designating certain toys for girls.
The kids’ bedding section will no longer feature boy and girl
signage, and the toy department will be without labels and pink or blue
paper on the shelves, Minneapolis-based Target said on its website
Friday. Gender labels will remain in the kids’ clothing section because
of sizing and fit differences.
Retailers have been moving away from gender stereotypes, and some
startups have emerged to break down the divide in kids’ clothing and
toys. The signage that sparked the dispute at Target was for building
sets, like GoldieBlox, that are targeted at girls.
“As guests have pointed out, in some departments like toys, home or
entertainment, suggesting products by gender is unnecessary,” Target
said. “We heard you, and we agree. Right now, our teams are working
across the store to identify areas where we can phase out gender-based
signage to help strike a better balance.”Keep reading
